Grill’d have promised to take my feedback serious, so here I go.
Grill’d is a chain in Australia and lucky for me there is one right down the street from our office. It is shocking to believe that I have been here for 2 months and only NOW just trying it out. When my workmates asked me if I would like to do a birthday lunch I decided that this was as good a day as any to have a burger (isn’t everyday?). It started off with a bang. The lovely man behind the counter asked me if I would like to try the Carlton challenge (answer the question under the cap) and get your drink free. I have really really nice friends who helped me a bit, it was Australian-centric after all. How would a yank know which Australian prime minister was used as the hero for a musical?
They advertise themselves as healthy burgers. Beef, bread, cheese, lettuce, onion, mustard and ketchup. What isn’t healthy about that? I believe you have all your food groups in one fell swoop. Well done Grill’d. The lettuce was a bit excessive, as a condiment they list salad – which they were not kidding around about. There may have been 8 large pieces of lettuce on my burger some of which promptly moved onto Casey’s mini-me small adult sized burger. The beef was juicy and very tasty. A solid 8 or 8.5, I would say. I will happily admit, for a chain restaurant burger they get my vote. Maybe I should bring one back to America???!!! Another winning burger expedition on a very special day for me. What more could you ask for?
p.s. A wonderful couple gave me an appropro gift for my bday. "Hamburger" a global history by Andrew F. Smith. Did you know that Ray Kroc did not found McDonald's and the first McDonald's restaurant was not in Des Plaines, Illinois. more fun burger facts to come.
